For clarity, Cebolla does not “lie” in the southeast corner of the San Juan Basin and it has not been drilled for decades to make Farmington the largest NM oil town.
Cebolla is in the heart of the Rio Chama Watershed, on Hwy 84, and is even in the jurisdiction of the Taos Field Office of the BLM, not in the Farmington Field Office's San Juan Basin jurisdiction as “reportedly” implied.
The Mancos Shale does not sit a couple thousand feet below the surface of Cebolla as alleged by Dave Evans.
Mancos Shale IS the surface of Cebolla, and the water of the Morrison Formation is BELOW the Mancos Shale, and Greenhorn Limestone, and Dakota Sandstone.
